Im sorry to be the bearer of bad news but unless you have the first ps3 model or some of the other ones that has the origional design.. you cannot play ps2 games on the ps3.. the ps3s that could still relies on a hardware chip that just isnt present in the slim or even the new slim model...

On the PlayStatin Store there is PS2 system data that you will need to download

again that file is only intended for ps3s that support ps2 games... it is needed for games that used the ps2 harddrive..

it does not add the ability to play ps2 games on ps3s that dont support ps2 games

Re: Getting PS2 Games to work on PS3

its the origional models... plus some of the later ones... however at this time they are rare... best bet to find any of them is auction sites like ebay.com you will not find any of the models in question in retail
